100% Cinsault from old dry farmed vines, on granite soils over the hills of the coastal mountain range.
Production
Made from 80 year old dry farmed Cinsault grapes from the Florida vineyards in Itata. Grapes are hand picked and destemmed and put in to open top wooden tanks where slow alcoholic fermentation takes place over 20 days with soft pump overs to avoid extraction. Malolactic fermentation takes place and the wine is aged in stainless steel and old oak barrels for 15 months.

Food match
